DIY Terrarium Magnets: Make Your Own Tiny Vertical Garden!

Oh my goodness. This may be one of the coolest DIY terrarium / vertical garden / house plant projects I've ever seen. I don't know about you, but the thought of making my own tiny magnetic vertical garden is enough to make me want to cover every surface in my house in a magnetic material (or, at the very least, have one giant magnetic wall)!

These mini garden tins were created by the clever folks at Ruffled for use as wedding favors. I like the idea of making a few (okay, A LOT) for use in the kitchen, in an office, on the patio, or for any surface I can put a magnet on. I can even picture a cool installation piece on a large wall using a few dozen of these bad boys. If you're as excited about them as I am, let's see what we'll need to start making our own little vertical gardens!

Materials:

Gravel (can be found at any pet store in the aquarium section)

Air plants, cactus or succulents (you will need a small amount of potting soil if not using air plants)

I have seen these at a wedding I was at a few weeks ago! It was very cool and something I had never seen before. It a neat idea for a personalized wedding gift from Pittsburgh. It doesn't seem that difficult to make either? I will need to try it out!
